I am trying to remove a directory that has other directories and files in
it.  I thought removedirs was supposed to do a recursive remove of files and
directories.
When I try it I get 

 

os.removedirs("DAF")
       

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in -toplevel-
   os.removedirs("DAF")
 File "/home/ertlj/ertljVersion/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 167, in

   rmdir(name)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'DAF'
Thanks,
